In 1993 A Minuteman 1B Intercontinental Ballistic Missile was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base (now Space Force) carrying a payload for the US Army. The mission is known as RSLP TDT-1 and it's believed that the payload was related to missile defence.
Seconds into flight the operations team observed the rocket turning East, rather than West. This would carry it inland, over US towns and cities.
The flight was terminated by the range safety officer, but not before a lot of shouting was heard over the command loops.
The community of Casmalia would be evacuated following the failure out of an abundance of caution.
This launch is sometimes referred to as the Casmalia Express
